Lin Xiao dissipated all his flying knives at the last moment.
He narrowed his eyes. This person had a problem.
This Number Thirty-Seven was definitely hiding something. Otherwise, if he wanted to die, Number Thirty-Seven would be utterly doomed. But... it was only now that he made a choice out of desperation.
This meant he didn't truly want to die; he was struggling.
Struggling with what?
Lin Xiao’s hand clamped around his throat, instantly sealing Number Thirty-Seven’s spiritual energy throughout his entire body. This was to prevent him from doing anything foolish, to prevent all of Lin Xiao’s efforts from turning to dust at this critical moment.
“If you don’t kill me, you will be the one to die.”
Number Thirty-Seven’s face finally appeared completely in Lin Xiao’s sight.
It was the same unfamiliar face, but this face looked even older than the Old Heavenly Master, giving the impression of someone just pulled from a coffin. There was no vitality, no trace of a living person about him.
“What do you mean?”
The next second, Number Thirty-Seven’s body began to change.
His previously lean frame seemed to be expanding, like a balloon being inflated.
Lin Xiao’s reaction was incredibly swift. He immediately sealed Number Thirty-Seven’s dantian, then used all his silver needles to block the major acupoints all over his body. Finally, he struck Number Thirty-Seven’s heart with a palm.
Only then was the change in Number Thirty-Seven’s body stopped.
“Why…”
Number Thirty-Seven’s eyes were somewhat vacant. He naturally felt the changes in his body, the pain that came with them. He felt as though his entire being was being torn apart, but now it was slowly recovering.
“Who.”
Lin Xiao clearly sensed that an external force had appeared, a force that intended to make Number Thirty-Seven die right before his eyes.
Someone wanted to silence Number Thirty-Seven.
Just like that day when the people from the Shadow Assassins had someone erase Zheng Aijia’s memory.
He had reason to believe that these two parties were the same entity.
The purpose was to prevent Lin Xiao from investigating further.
“It’s useless.”
Number Thirty-Seven shook his head at this point. He stared at Lin Xiao, “I am a discarded piece now. No matter how hard you try, I…”
Before he could finish speaking, his body trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Simultaneously, his aura plummeted to the lowest point.
“No!”
Lin Xiao immediately fed a Huiyuan Pill into Number Thirty-Seven’s mouth and began using his spiritual energy to examine Number Thirty-Seven’s body.
His internal organs were almost completely destroyed in an instant.
All the blood vessels in his body were also ruined, and his dantian was destroyed.
And all of this seemed to happen before his eyes.
However, Lin Xiao only felt that someone had intervened. He had no idea who it was or what power was used.
Only after all this happened did Number Thirty-Seven’s body revert to its original state.
“Lin Xiao, one last piece of advice before I die.” Number Thirty-Seven’s body slowly collapsed onto the ground. He looked at the blinding sun in the sky and slowly said, “It was I who ordered the killing of your entire family. I am the prime culprit. Your revenge is complete, so everything should end now…”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
Lin Xiao had no intention of giving up. His movements were swift. He forced another pill down his throat, then employed the Nine Revolutions Revival Needle technique!
